We are looking for input on the points system. This year we want to make some changes that will include the two out of three match races in the points series. What ideas do you guys have?

One idea is to give every round in the two out of three a points value. What do you think about this?

Example; Racer A is racing racer B, Racer A wins two round and the match he is awarded 5 points per round win, plus a bonus of 5 points for winning the match up. Racer B wins one round but looses the match he gets 5 points. This would include a three tenths breakout.

Any ideas? Whats your thoughts?

Also Quick Eight?

I don't know about the three tenths break-out. I would hate for it to turn into bracket style racing. If you don't have enough cars at an event, with more faster cars than slower, the faster car has to worry about going too fast. A slower car like mine could out run a faster car providing the faster car spins out of the hole,or, misses a shift on a stick car. Maybe the slower car could get a few extra points for beating a faster, but, I wouldn't do a 3 tenths penallity. Just my thought.

Mike just to clarify the 3 tenths rules is similar to what we have now. If you qualify at one E/T and in elimination you run 3 tenths quicker you are disqualified.

We have had a couple of racers in the past qualify at a slower E/T on purpose, just to be paired up with a car they know they can out run. We want to stop this. Pure Stock drags has used the 3 tenths rule we are currently using a 5 tenths rule.

What does everyone think 3 tenths or keep it at 5 tenths.

The 3 tenths and 5 tenths only applies to Match Races. This does not apply to Quick Eight

number 1 qualifier should get more pts . Same as a round, with #2 getting half. And #3 getting half again etc... Until u get to 1 point for the remainder. Some racers might be just in it for the low ets. Also some pts for setting the et record.

I think a three tenths rule will only be upsetting to cheaters. The only problem would be a two day event with qualifing on a hot humid Saturday and the match races on a cool dry Sunday. My car can pick up over three tenths in that kind of situation without touching anything from one day to the next. It has happened to me at LVD and E-town. But as any racer knows, three tenth is a lot.

I agree Hal , At every SuperCar 2 day events we allow at least one additional round of qualifing on the second day. Also it is never mandatory that you attend both days. At our two day events we have plans to run a Saturday program that include qualifing for Sundays main event.

low E/T of the event and top MPH of the Event

I think a 5 tenths rule is probably better for this type of racing. My glaring example would be Ken's Camaro...

It set low ET in the 10.60s so you know what it is capable of, but at Etown this past weekend it was not out of the 11s. If he qualifies at a 11.18 but makes a last minute change before round "next" and rips a 10.65, on a 3 tenths rule he would be out...5 tenths not so.

That's my opinion and I am sticking to it!!! Even if I get beat because of it...haha

The 3 / 5 tenths rule only applies in the two out of three match races. And if we possibly run a second quick eight field. Everyone that qualifies in the quick / quickets eight are not required to meet this rule.

Gotchya, thanks!
